Song Imprisoned

Song imprisoned

      Lone musician
     engrossed to play violin.
    Resonance ripples
    on prelude to interlude.
     sinking in self consciousness.

     Self-oriented!
     Releasing emotive urge
     in joy and sorrow.
     None to share, none to listen.
     Rhythm of tune to glisten.

     An enlightenment:
    An ethereal ecstasy:
    Self satisfaction.
    Alone artist enjoying
    mystic morose melody.

     Lone bird imprisoned
     in cage stoops being drowsy.
     silent, no whistling.
    It has forgotten to sing,
     dreams of open sky in vain.
